There are autism flavors? How do I find mine?
You lick all of them. The ones that taste fantastic are yours. In all seriousness you can probs google that and find many different answers. From what I experienced:
It can be really any topic that comes easy to you. Where you can talk lots about to other people you like (infodumping)
The weirdest one I personally encountered was pleistocene autism. They knew everything there is to know about that era. Here are a few others, maybe You find yourself in them. Infrastructure Autism (Ships, Trains, Planes, Cars). Math Autism. Google Paul Erdos for example. Music Autism (commonly Loud, overwhelming (Metal) or very quiet asmr type music (Billie Eilish) ). People autism (how and why they act the way they do). Just Vibing in the Countryside Autism. Gardening Autism. Pet collecting autism (not adviseable, seek help) Maybe you can see a pattern.
I’ve just been thinking of those things as hobbies. Now excuse me while I listen to some fast paced ASMR and do the daily Octordle puzzle, in an attempt to decompress after work.
Decompression after work? Witchcraft!
I know. I’m probably supposed to ride around town in my truck firing guns into the air
Switching to seriousness: I inherited the Autism from my mothers side, and she was soooo into guns. Always was much more open and relaxed and funny on shooting days. She found many friends shooting and fencing.
I never was into that, these things scare me. But to each their own.
Hi, I'm named after a Pleistocene-era geographical feature. Never met anyone who had that era as their autism flavor, though. I don't even really have it myself; geology was a special interest of mine as a kid and I like learning about how different Earth was at different times in the past, but it was never focused on any specific time period. The Pleistocene just happened to be when the glaciers sculpted the land I live in.
That's awesome!
